My dad is half Norweigen, half Danish. He HATES the Swedes, but never met one. To him, it's a matter of pride or something. I never understood it. It's not like he lives in Scandanavia.

Germans must be high on the list of stingy too. They bring everything with them in their mobile homes. They go Fishing in northern part of Norway. Its like the second wave of invasion.

Of course the Swedes are tight with their dough, they are taxed to death. No moola to spare.
